WARNINGS
Avoid password characters which have special meaning to the tty driver, such as # (erase) and @ (kill).
You may not be able to login with these characters.
Multiple superusers are allowed, but are strongly discouraged. That is because the system often stores
user ID rather than user name. Having unique IDs for all users will guarantee a consistent mapping
between user name and user ID.
